EMULATE the SUNFLOWER

Since Ryan did such an awesome job with my birthday last year with the surprise Villa and massage I knew I needed to do a good job for him this year. We had wanted to go to California again since he loved going to the Angels game for his big day. Well since we went to Vegas the week before and we are going to California at the end of June we opted not to. I thought I would get him D-BACK tickets instead and we would go to that in the late afternoon and I would set an early tee time for Sat morning for us to golf together.

I bought tickets for Sat for his birthday and now I have to let the cat out of the bag! I NEVER get to surprise him. He was so excited about going to the game twice that it ended up being a good thing! I was so happy! The game on Friday was a late game so I made reservations at Kincaids (...

A couple of posts back I did one on one of my little girls that I had in Vegas that was placed in a new home with her older and younger sister. Well, the adoption was final the end of May and their sealing was Sat. June 6, 2009! We werent sure when the sealing was going to be so about a month ago we had made plans to go to California for the week before Ryan's birthday. We went last year and it was so fun. We got the invite to the sealing the same weekend that we had wanted to go. Both of us looked at each other and new that we were going to have to put the California trip on hold and were so excited to go to Las Vegas and be there for this special sealing. It was an extremely quick trip. I had a lot of doctors appointments on Friday so we left late and spent most of Sat with the family and then got up early Sunday and drove home.

We live in the best neighborhood and have some of the best neighbors who also just so happen are in our ward. A couple of weeks ago on a Monday night we had a knock on our door and before we could get to the door we heard squeeling tires and saw the glimpse of an SUV drive off really fast. We opened our door to this! It was such a sweet surprise! They left us those yummy goodies, lots of hearts forked in our yard with sweet quotes to help lift your spirits, they wrote sayings on our driveway, and left some pretty yummy smelly lotion and spray with a card from one of my Young Woman! It seriously made me smile from ear to ear! I needed that so much! I love surprises!
